+## Rootless docker
+
+It works with docker setups as root and can handle rootless docker instances.
+
+To bring it up and running with an unpriviledged icinga user it must be able to access docker. Copy the docker binary eg. from /home/dockeruser/bin/docker to /usr/bin/. Then use the parameter `-p /usr/bin`.
+
+If DOCKER_HOST is not set then the docker socket is detected from a running docker instance and will be fetched from the process list.
